I think stating it's the "morse code equivalent" is inaccurate; it's used for verbatim transcription, not merely as an ASCII transliteration for transmission. Its main benefit is the fact no special equipment is needed (ie, a QWERTY keyboard is sufficient, since only Latin characters are used). Wbruce 07:35, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
